<- Louisville's Russ
Smith taken by team Trevino as the first pick has averaged 25 points
over the first 2 games of the tournament. Louisville has # 12
Oregon next this Friday March 29th.

From a
tournament standpoint, the following leagues are represented in the
Sweet 16.

* note
there are no teams from the Mountain West
Conference, the supposedly toughest conference in the nation this year,
go figure !

Big 10 - 4 (Indiana, Michigan State, Ohio State,
Michigan)

Big East - 3 (Louisville, Marquette, Syracuse)

ACC - 2 (Duke, Miami (Fl)

PAC 12 - 2 (Arizona, Oregon)

SEC - 1 (Florida)

ATL 10 - 1 (LaSalle)

Atlantic Sun 1 - (Flrodia Gulf Coast)

Big 12 1 - (Kansas)

Missouri Valley 1 - (Wichita State)

Current year:

This upcoming weekend
will make or break many of the teams that drafted this year.
It is very close as less than 62 points separate first place from eighth
place so far in our draft game. Current leader after the 1st
couple of games is the Trevino team of Ralph, Nick & Sam
with 518 points. Ralph's team has 10 players left in the
tournament. Right behind Trevino is defending champ Rob
Stenzel who is 24 points out but has 4 more players left in the
tournament (14). The Noffke team of Mark & Steve and
Bruce Martin are only 28 points away from #1 but I have them
falling to 4th after the Sweet 16 with the Keuper team (Kevin
Keuper & Dave Eccles) moving into 3rd place by Saturday.

# 1 Gonzaga looked a
little shaky in their opening game and ended up dropping their second
round game to Wichita State which probably messed up a few brackets as
well as our draft game strategy. We still have three # 1 teams
remaining and they all look very strong.

Last year there was
some upsets in the opening rounds as well and 15 picks out of the top 40
were gone after the first 2 games. This year only 8 picks have
been lost due to upsets.

The matchups for this
weekend has been prepared and if you go to the Sweet 16 Matchups tab,

and has six players with -10 or worse through only 2 games played.
